STATE | SYSTEM | ||
| STATE | DESCRIPTION | |
0 | Power Up | Performs activities of initializing and testing |
the system. | ||
1 | Stand By | Connects power to bus and continues system |
monitoring while waiting for a start command. | ||
2 | Prepare to | Initializes any external devices preparing for the |
Start | start procedure. | |
3 | Bearing | Configures the system and commands the engine |
Lift Off | to be rotated to a predetermined RPM, such | |
as 25,000 RPM. | ||
4 | Open Loop | Turns on ignition system and commands fuel |
Light Off | open loop to light the engine. | |
5 | Closed Loop | Continues motoring and closed fuel control until |
Acceleration | the system reaches the no load state. | |
6 | Run | Engine operates in a no load self-sustaining state |
producing power only to operate the controller. | ||
7 | Load | Converter output contactor is closed and system is |
producing power. | ||
8 | Re-Charge | System operates off of fuel only and produces |
power for recharging energy storage device if | ||
installed. | ||
9 | Cooldown | System is motoring engine to reduce EGT before |
shutting down. | ||
10 | Re-Start | Reduces engine speed to begin open loop light |
when a start command is received in the | ||
cooldown state. | ||
11 | Re-Light | Performs a turbine re-light in transition from the |
cooldown to warmdown state. Allows continued | ||
engine cooling when motoring is no longer | ||
possible. | ||
12 | Warmdown | Sustains turbine operation with fuel at a |
predetermined RPM, such as 50,000 RPM, to | ||
cool when engine motoring is not possible. | ||
13 | Shutdown | Reconfigures the system after a cooldown to |
enter the stand by state. | ||
14 | Fault | Turns off all outputs when presence of fault |
which disables power conversion exists. Logic | ||
power is still available for interrogating | ||
system faults. | ||
15 | Disable | Fault has occurred where processing may no |
longer be possible. All system operation is | ||
disabled. | ||
